Lol Garasi Auto or something. He doesnt have a shop or anything. If you are interested I'll get in contact with him for you. Did the same for DAN. Worked out great and everyone was happy.Quote:

Hey chrischris, when you sprayed your rims, do you spray the inside of the rims or just the outside? I wonder what it looks like if I don't paint the inside
It would be great if you have a close up photo of your white rims LOL. Cheers
Which rims you asking about?Quote:

I sold the stock wheels to Moro95, he might be able to get you some more photos.
The evo rims LOL but ok ill spray the inside. Did you spray the face first, wait for it dry and then spray the inside? Or just stand it up and spray? lol How did you do it?Quote:

Then I stood the wheel up and did a light coat on the inside, let it dry, then did a heavy coat to cover everything not worrying about runs in the paint just coverage, and then finished the face with a few more coats.
I had to spray the inside since the hub of the wheel is really big and would look bad if not painted completely from behind

Looking for J's Racing Front Lip. Does anyone by any chance be selling one?
Very hard to find
Best bet is to get genuine maybe but even I don't know it'll fit
I'm gonna recondition mine as it has scratches and all
Found one on gumtree but the guy hasn't replied... Found a carbon fibre one from America $480 mot including shipping..
i see this one on gumtree?
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/south...lip/1049638520
Yeah that's the one im looking at. The guy hasn't replied yet..
That hurstville one is the guy who sold my mate the carbon lip pretty sure
Parting out and selling my car soon. Would anyone know or be interested in a 9th gen vti? Would be willing to sell slightly cheaper for ozhonda members :)
how come? O:Quote:

Hahah, personally I don't think there's much to be gained from a r18. The fact that it's an automatic doesn't help either. Through corners it's pretty good (ask HondaFD) but it's just not as fun as a manual car :(Quote:

Might need a new ECU and gearbox. I think. But other than that, it should fit.Quote:

I think Josh at SleepingPerformance quoted me $7,000 - $10,000 for K24 + Box and stock computer. Drive in and out.
Fitted and supplied.
Not interested in FI as of yet. Still want to stay n/a :)Quote:

You wouldn't happen to know the difference between a 7k job and a 10k job though right?
Josh is a dodgy character, wouldn't recommend him by a long shot.Quote:

Hey chrischris and honda_FD, can you give me some info about how a throttle controller helps FD2? Mine has a lag as I rev, not sure if this is the same as yours though.
Is installing it hard? LOL Cheers
Basically a throttle controller tells the ECU you're pressing the accelerator harder or softer than you are.
E.g. you could be pushing it down 20%, but it will tell the ecu you're pushing it down 50% etc.
Installation is relatively easy as well.
Links - http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...tle-Controller
Yeah, What lolmclol said. I dont have one. Have heard good feedback from people that has them installed in their cars (IOU & NedKerry)
Might invest in one in the near future.
Go invest in a catback, somehow mine eliminated the throttle lag comparing to my friend who has a exhaust axle back on his.....
Oh, thanks. So does it get rid of the lag? So my accelerator pedal is more sensitive? I just want to get rid of the lag and keep everything the same. Is that possible?
LOL its cheap. Only $150 max
You will never get 'Rid' of the throttle lag. You can improve response but it will always be there.Quote:

Not sure if throttle response or new found swagzorst (-;Quote:

Just re-iterating what everyone has already said, you technically will never remove the lag, but you'll improve the response. But for your everyday driving, you'll notice a significant difference in the way the car feels.Quote:
Originally Posted by LetsDuDiss
Yes, it essentially remaps the throttle and you can adjust to make it more or less sensitive. It's a 5 minute job to install.
Don't bother with a CAI or SRI if your aim is to improve response - I did the ghetto CAI and despite the engine running slightly cooler, it lags a little more. I have to fit the resonator back on.
The exhaust and lightweight pulley kit are the last "performance" mods I'm doing so I'm hoping that will yield some good results for acceleration and response.

Wow good to see this thread is still going! Hows everyone been wit dere fdzors?
I can guarantee the ecu on a more "Dohc" k20 is tuned differently in regards to fuel, timing and cam changeQuote:

Computer is a must. Gearbox is optional. But why wouldnt you want a close ratio 6 speed?Quote:

Nah man, my car is stock in terms of performance. Nearly done with cosmetics, now I'm going to get mods for performance, cheap ones first of course LOL, can't afford a swagzorst atm. This lag is so annoying when I downshift and rev match, and start from an uphillQuote:

And I always run into a problem where I spray a heavy coat of clear and the base coat seems to fade off at the area with heavy clear. Any explanation? I can't help it but feel if I don't spray the clear heavy enough, I won't have a glossy finish
The stickers i linked aren't the ones i got, i could't find the same item for sale anymore, you can get the stickers printed at the market if you don't want to order online, in VIC at caribbean gardens you could get a set printed for around 20$ cause they charge 5$ for a small sticker, and it takes 10-20minutes.Quote:

I dont really know what would cause the base to fade, maybe wait longer before the clear. Do a few passes with a heat gun if its cold temperature, below 14 degrees.
On the stock rims i didnt use clear and they dired rough, when i did 2 heavy clear coats on the blue rims i got a nice smooth finish
Nah man, I waited overnight for the base coat to dry, just clear coated this morning. But yeah, no idea. Oh well, too late now. The paint job is ok, only those fading base made it look dodgyQuote:
Originally Posted by chrischris

But they're pretty much the same price as automotive paint so idk. I heated my cans very well before spraying. Dipped in boiling water, blow dry and shake for 10 mins, etc.. The paint came out nice and even. But it's too nice, there was always a mist of flying paint every time I spray. Seems unhealthy LOL.
Haha, I agree with the smooth finish. I just spray the pressure hose at it and all the dirt flew off where as the stock rim with mat finish didn't get cleaned enough.
yeah i did my wifes wheels with automotive paint but the results are the same as the bunnings paint, they are both enamel based. I dont know how it would hold up long term, if the paint will chip and flake off, lol, so far so good.
Some after work fun...
Incase you guys wanted to hear my car from the inside with windows up.
